  amended energy conservation standards for these products would result in significant conservation 
of energy, and are technologically feasible and economically justified.  
The effective date of this rule is 13 June 2024. If adverse comments are received by  3 June 2024 
and DOE determines that such comments may provide a reasonable basis for withdrawal of the 
direct final rule under 42 U.S.C. 6295(o), a timely withdrawal of this rule will be published in the 
Federal Register (and notified to the WTO TBT Commi ttee). If no such adverse comments are 
received, compliance with the new and amended standards established for consumer conventional 
cooking products in this direct final rule is required on and after 31 January 2028. Comments 
regarding the likely competit ive impact of the standards contained in this direct final rule should be 
sent to the Department of Justice contact listed in the ADDRESSES  section on or before 15 March 
2024.
